What about setting the page numbering on a bunch of files that are used in multiple Bookfiles?

I have an FM 10 bookfile called  BookfileA with 20 chapters. In chapter 1, I set the chapter numbering to start at 1 and the page numbering to start at 1. In chapters 2 through 20, I set the chapter numbering and the page numbering to increment from the previous chapter. So far, so good, but here's the problem. .....
In BookfileB, chapter 1 is a different file, and the original chapter 1 is moved to chapter 2. But BookfileB's chapter 2 is still self-resetting its chapter and page numbering to 1.
Because of the unusual fact that BookfileB has an extra chapter, do I have to monkey with the chapter numbering every time I want to generate one variant or the other? Is there something about numbering that I don't realize?

> You're still using the Book settings to specify how the file is to behave with that option ...
True enough.
[*]RFF is likely the optimal setting for most users, who either don't have multiple Book files, or do, but use a consistent numbering scheme for all (our case).
If RFF is not selected, and the Book and component file Document Numbering settings don't match, FM complains, vaguely. It's a pain to chase down why. And in our experience, if RFF is not set, the Book and component file numbering can get desynchronized by FM crashes, so what was working all of a sudden does not.

    It means that nano was used on a third-party software or synced from different computer to sync music. Does that nano show in iTunes? If yes, then restore completely. If not, then you may need to head to Apple Store and see what they can do.

  • I am not able to Sync. My iPOD classic 80Gb. It tells that as iTunes can not read the contents-restore to factory settings- after restoring – it tells that it can not be restore bcause there are files that are used by other application. I am having Widows

My iPOD appears in My Computer in drive H as a mass storage generick volume

    Try disabilng the Enable Disk Use option from under the iPod's Summary tab, applying the changes, and seeing if that helps.
    Otherwise, temporarily disabling any antivirus, security, firewall, or file indexing software that may be running on your system and then try restoring your iPod again.

  • I can't get the page numbers in my table of contents to update when I update the book.

    I'm using Framemaker 11 and I have two TOCs in my book: one in English and one in French. Each TOC links to different documents in the same book. The reference page for each TOC is set and correctly displays the heading 1 and 2 I've told it to display, but the numbers do not update when the content in my document files changes to a different page. I've checked the conditional text settings in my document files; they are correct. When I update the book, I choose to update Numbering, All Cross-References, All Text Insets, OLE Links, Generate Table of Contents, Lists, and Indexes. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

    I just tested this out and saw the same result as Rick - a book with child books ignores all generated files within the child books. This applies to adding content from them (e.g. their titles) to actually including them in the output. This applies to all versions of FM since v.9!
    However, there is a workaround for this. You need to use the hierarchical book structure in the parent book and create Folders for each book that you want to add. Then manually add the generated files (TOC, IX, List of..., etc.) and book to the respective folder. This is what it looks like for two child books in a parent book:
    Note that the child book generated files (TOC, IOR) show as just regular files at this point in the parent book. To get the page numbering to be continuous throughout the parent book, you will need to make a couple of passes. First set folder, files and books to have the Numbering continue from the previous (if you want all sequential page numbers). This will set the page numbers correctly except for what they were in the respective book TOCs. You will need to use the starting page number of the child TOC files in each folder (it shows in the Book status bar when click on the TOC file in the master/parent book).
    To set the individual book TOCs to be correct in the parent book, open the child book and set the TOC Numbering to start at the page stated in the parent book (status bar). Now update the child book to set the correct (parent book) page numbers in the child TOC. [This is a necessary manual step, as the page number assigned in the parent book is ignored when th child book is individually updated and FM uses 1 to start off the sequence in the child book.]  Repeat for each child book in the master/parent book.
    The final step is to Update the parent book and create the PDF. You should now have all of the files included in the PDF and the child TOCs should show the correct page numbers of the master book.
    This whole process of books within books seems a bit borked and one shouldn't have to be jumping through hoops to include child generated files. Please report this as a bug via: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm

  • Is there a way to have the page numbering always on top?

    I have a master page that has the page numbering on it, but have run into a problem. Some of the pages have PDF images that fill the page and when they're placed on the page, the page numbers are covered. On the Master Page, or the page itself, is there a way to set the page numbering to always be on top and not hidden?
    Thanks,
    Sean

    Open the layer panel and make a new layer.
    Go to the master page containing the auto page number. Select it. Drag the little icon in the layers panel to the top layer.
    Lock the layer so you can’t accidentally place anything else there.
    The numbers will always be above anything else in the document.

  • How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something if i use firefo

    How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something when I use mozila firefox?
    Windows Computer

    1) If you are talking about the file names on the computer, there is a
    setting to turn off known file types. Open your file browser. Then
    just under the location bar, press '''Tools,''' then '''Folder Options.'''
    A new window will open. Select '''View.''' Look for
    '''Hide Extensions For Known File Types.'''
    2) Never NEVER '''NEVER''' download anything unless you know what
    it is. If a web site claims it needs to download something, what is it?
    It could be something like the flash player, '''or a virus ! !'''
    Ask questions, or go somewhere else.

  • Why won't my printer print page numbers? The page numbers show up when I preview the document by don't print on the page.

    Why won't my printer print page numbers in a document? The page numbers show in print preview, but will not print on document.

    Perhaps you have set the margins so tight to the edge of the paper that you have gotten into the non-printing area for your printer. Most printers have a dead zone.
    What are your margin settings?

  • Just upgraded to 5 from 3 - what happened to the page select icon? Can't find it in customize toolbars.

    Used to be you could select which page you wished to go back or forward to from the arrow icons on the navigation toolbar. The history menu item only shows 10 sites without having to open history for today. What happened? Is there another icon or a new plug in for this functionality? I used it all the time.

    ''what happened to the page select icon (Back/Forward)''
    The back/forward buttons have been moved to right-hand side of the navigation bar and the drop-down was removed. User right-click or hold click for one second to see the tab history. This is item #5 in my list.
    The History menu also has "Open Previous session" and "Open closed windows",
    to see more history use the History sidebar ("Ctrl+H") or the History Library List ("Ctrl+Shift+H") and sort or view by "Last visited".
    You can make '''Firefox 5.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.19, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 5.0.1, or 4.0.1, look like 3.6.*)].

  • In pages(not the New version) footer is over to the left, so when i put the page numbers in they don't sit right. How do i move the footer

    In pages(not the New version) footer is over to the left, so when i put the page numbers in they don't sit right. How do i move the footer

    The footer is not only to the left. To get the page number to the right you can use Format > Align right. That will make all page numbers move to the right. Is that what you want?

  • I am using CC adobe Acrobat to combine multiple pdfs and add page numbers. Mac users can no longer read the page numbers but pc users can.

    I am using CC adobe Acrobat to combine multiple pdfs and add page numbers. As of about 2 weeks ago the mac users can no longer read the page numbers they get a font error message and see only -- where the page information should be. The pc users do not have this same problem. When I replace our regular font (URW Grotesk) with a system font (Verdana) everyone is able to read the page numbers. This is a new issues, I have been creating these documents in the same way for years without a problem. I have been on hold and on and off calls for the last two hours, I keep getting hung up on once I find someone in adobe support to talk to!

    Hi KnoopL,
    Are the Mac users using Preview to view the pdfs or Adobe Reader?

  • Problem in resetting the Page numbers

    Hi,
    I am using to print PO report using XML publisher.
    The layout that is needed is
    Header
    ---- It cointains page number x of y ,po number,po creation date,and other details.
    Body
    ---- It cointains po lines and po headers data.
    end body
    After the body ends we need to print Service note in a seperate page.But this service note should not have header and the pages of the service note will not be included in total pages of the PO.
    If the PO is 10 pages and service note 2 pages then the total page of PO should be 10.
    This is for one PO.We have to print many number of POs in a single request.
    Presently the problem is that for resetting the page numbers of service note I am using a section break after the end of body.What it does is it reset the page number.But the problem is first all the POs are displayed then its service note.But I need one PO and then its service note .Then the second PO and its service note.

    I have used the following method to call the template based on IF condition as follows:
    The way I expected the outcome is:
    if the COPY_ORIGINAL variable's value is '(Copy)' then it shoud print once the template with a label '(Copy)' in it.
    else
    if the COPY_ORIGINAL variable's value is '' (empty) then it should print 4 times the template, with different labels as: 'Original' , 'Accounts Copy', 'FP Store Copy' and 'Gate Copy'
    the way I used the xml tags is mentioned below:
    <?if: COPY_ORIGINAL='(Copy)'?>
    <?call:TC?>
    <?end if?>
    <?if: COPY_ORIGINAL=''?>
    <?call:TC1?>
    <?end if?>
    <?template:TC1?>
    <?for-each@section:xdoxslt:foreach_number($_XDOCTX,1,4,1)?>
    <?if: position()=1?>Original<?end if?>
    <?if: position()=2?>Accounts Copy<?end if?>
    <?if: position()=3?>FP Store<?end if?>
    <?if: position()=4?>Gate Copy<?end if?>
    <?for-each:/SFFONT001/LIST_G_HEADER_ID?>
    <?call:TC?>
    <?end for-each?>
    <?end for-each?>
    <?end template?>
    <?template:TC?>
    <?ORDER_NUMBER?>
    <?end template?>
    In this case, it won't call the template TC1 and reset the page numbers, instead it prints the page numbers continuously.. (no resetting of page numbers)
    why the following If statement:
    <?if: COPY_ORIGINAL=''?>
    <?call:TC1?>
    <?end if?>
    is not working for the statement:
    <?for-each@section:xdoxslt:foreach_number($_XDOCTX,1,4,1)?>
    Please update...

  • Creating PDFs using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and can only see the first 10 pages in PDF even when the page numbers on bottom state 10 of 13 (or any number greater than 10).

    PDFs create great, unless they should be over 10 pages and then it appears the data was converted to PDF by viewing the page numbers at the bottom of the PDF but you can only view the first 10 pages in the pdf file.

    Hi stephaniec0103,
    Could you please let me know what exact dot version of Acrobat 9 and OS you are using.
    Have you tried repairing Acrobat from the Help menu?
    Acrobat 9 is an older version and incompatible with new OS versions, so I would suggest you to try using Acrobat XI (latest version) and check for the same.
    You may download a 30-day free trial version of Acrobat from the below mentioned link:
    Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat XI Professional
    Let me know how it goes.

  • How do I update only the page numbers of a table of contents in Indesign CS6?

    Hi there!
    Please help! I'm making a medical book with more then 1300 pages and about 40 different table of contents.
    I want to update only the page numbers on all the table of contents. But I only see the option to update the complete table of contents.
